POSITIVE proof that thirteen Chicago
knights of Labor are in the employ OF
certain detective agencies, and that
they have betrayed the secrets of the
labor organizations, is said to have
been obtained. and steps to expel
them will be promptly taken. OF
course the Knights, like other organi-
cations, do not care to have their Sc
crets made public, but so long as their
purposes are just and lawful, the ex-
posure cannot hurt them.

alton which Premier Mercier has made
in regard to the corruption which was
carried on by the late Quebec govern
ment. The full extent of the plumber
ing perpetrated will not be known un-
til a parliamentary investigation is
held. The apartments of the late
speaker, which were deliberately fur
nished out of the treasury,
have been completely stripped.
Valuable plate and furnishings
are missing, and are known to have
been carried off by the boodlers. On
taking hold of the treasury chest Mr..
Mercier found it empty. Not one cent
was there to the credit of the govern
ment. Worse than that, Sir John A.
Macdonald had advanced the defunct
government $500, 900 out of the Do
minion treasury, which was charged
against the province, all of which went
into the general corruption fund. In
addition to this, the province has been
run heavily into debt, and large
amounts of outstanding claims remain
to be paid, and there is nothing with
which to pay them. Premier Mercier
has issued a circular to officials in all
branches of the public service to bal
lance their books aud report at once,
with an inventory of all property in
their hands. Developments are anx-
iously looked for.

horace Greeley.s Propheoy.

In the winter Of 1856 heard lecture
delivered by Horace Greeley in brooklyn.
His subject was France Solemn and
weird were his prophecies that night. All
else, save general impression Of his lee
ture, has passed from my memory, but
one thing stands out in boldest relief, and
that is his description OF how Louis Ma
poleon accomplished the coup d'etat and
the prophecy which Mr.. Greeley made. It
was near the end Of his discourse. In his
calm style the orator, speaking Of that
usurpatiOn, accomplished In treachery
and blood, seemed to have become elevated
like seer, and he said: "A day is coming
when, as sure as there is a God in heaven,
Napoleon III will pay the penalty for hav-
ING outraged moral and civil law" And
(here Greeley raised his voice., sThou,
Eugene, beautiful queen Of power and OF
fashion, when that day does arrive thou
wilt have thy share in thepenRlty.'
think that never heard anything half
so weird, half so startling The audience,
which had given good attention hitherto,
was now simply spell bound. Greeley then
went ON and gave his reasons for including
the empress in the future retribution.
He, said that It was q notorious fact that
after Louis Napoleon had treacherously
acknowledgements fled the: second French
republics the first person who wrote him
b c0ngratulat0ry and approving letter was

Our 1EntrOns and Maids.
In former years it was no easy task for
o young married couple to Ego housckeep-
ing and It required no small expenditure
Of cash. a range Or cooking stove, a cof-
fee and spice mill, d mortar, cake board
and rolling pin, Q tray and 5chopping
pots, kettles, frying pans and bowls, and
q large stock OF raw materials In the line
Of provisions, were required Then con-
siderable skill was necessary to use all
these instruments for preparing food for
the table, and that skill, unfortunately,
was not possessed by the young wife. The
consequence was that most persons who
embarked on the sea Of matrimony sailed
directly to boarding house and set up
their household diyinities in back cham
Der, where they remained till the land
lady levied on them for an over due bill
for meals and lodgings.
But modern invention has rendered
housekeeping very easy. Al couple may
now set up for themselves with very few
utensils, scarcely any provisions, and next
to no knowledge of cookery. A gas or Gil
stove takes the place of a costly and cum
brous cooking range. Coffee is bought
not only parched, but ground. Spices AID
pepper come all prepared for USE. Every
kind Of bread, cake and pastry can be
purchased ut q slight advance on the cost
Of the materials they contain. II one
wishes the sport of making them, self
raising -four may be had In any grocery.
Fruit Of all kinds all ready for the table
can be purchased about as cheaply as thnt
which must be prepared. Not only lob
sters and other shell fish, but salmon rn;.y
be bought cooked and ready to be served
at price but little above what the crude
articles cost; and cooked corned bcc,,
tongue, pigs feet and ham have long bee
on the market.
There are also canned soups, that cIly
need to be diluted, mince meat, all ready.
to put between pie crusts, md roast meats
and fowls Of all descriptions. Some
grocers keep mush prepared for frying.
Boston baked beans, put mp IN cans, have
had a great run during the p;lst few years,
English plum puddings arcta also on i,la
market Cans OF cooked green cOrii,
beans, peas, tomatoes, cauliilowcr and
asparagus, with Saratoga fried potatoes,
are to be found on the shelves of every
grocery, while laundries do the washing
and ironing.
1t is no longer necessary to be a cook, or
have cook, to keep house. It requires
scarcely any cooking utensils to provide u
warm meal "A can opener, o frying pan
and coffee pot are the principal requi-
sites. Even the last is not absolutely
necessary, since q mixture Of prepared
\ coffee, sugar and cream may readily be
obtained. It is even practical now for the
novice todispense with cook book, as the
label on every can tells how to treat the
contents Surely, ladies need no longer
complain that the labors Of housekeeping
keep them from cultivating their minds

WHERE WAS GRANT?

1t may have occurred to the reader that the
name Of the general commanding, the "boss"
SO to speak, of them all, has not been
mentioned. In the naval fight on the 14th,
Commander Foote had been severely
wounded. He sent message to Gen. Grant
that as he, Foote, was severely wounded, the
general might perhaps come and see him, and
hold council on board the flag ship st. Louis
Grant did SO, starting early on Saturday
morning After this consultation Foote started
back to Cairo for mortar boats.
The feet lay several miles down the river
and Grant did not get back till about
O'Clock. The sound of cannonading that
pierced through the woods gave no idea of
the seriousness Of the situation
The commander Immediately rode from one
point to another inspecting matters. His
first thought, when he saw his battered bat
tahons was to fall back on the defensive, and
wait till Foote came back with feet and re-
endorsements. At 8 o'clock in the after
noon he called M'Cleraand and Wallace to-
